[Request] Default Monsters Option

I was thinking if it would be possible to add an option or an addon that has the default monsters only, no new monsters and the default monsters won't be randomized.

Everything else, including the loot the monsters drop can be randomized.

So it would pretty much be all the new awesome weapons and spells with default doom monsters. I kinda miss them when I play Aeons of death! Would be awesome and interesting to use the new weapons and spells on the default monsters. Just think slaughter maps like Hell revealed 2!

No, it does not I'm afraid! Even though it's nice, it's not what I want. It's not completely with default monsters and the monsters are still randomized.

It does not spawn all the weapons when in Doom Theme, which is not what I had in mind.

I want default monsters only that are not randomized and all the weapons in the mod including the default weapons and other pickups which will be randomized. The default monsters can drop randomized loot ofcourse.

Arsernal tried that and I found it to become boring very quickly only after a few playthroughs with it.

It spoils the fun of playing with select few weapons and wishing for the others so you can decide to replay the game with a different theme.

It would cause many of the other themes to be ignored in favor for all of the above reasons, give or take on how the player feels.

Ultimately, I'm leaving this up to DBThanatos to decide. If he wants this idea in, then I'll implement it and leave it to him to balance. If he doesn't, I absolutely will not do so.

Before I start getting suggestive posts about L4D theme having all weapons, bear in mind it uses a completely different system for monsters, and a good 3/4's of the weapons available are capable of tackling hordes. There's so many specifications made to ensure it fits properly, that I simply cannot describe them all. Also, it only has classic weaponry, not joke mode weapons.

I was thinking if it would be possible to add an option or an addon that has the default monsters only, no new monsters and the default monsters won't be randomized.

So, you play a monster randomizer mod and expect it not to have random monsters?

No, I knew that. It was only after I had played that I wanted to try all the new weapons and stuff on default monsters.

I think it's worth to just make it a Special Mode like left 4 dead or Portal Gun mode, that spawns only default monsters that is not randomized for people like me who wanna play vanilla doom with all these awesome weapons and all other modifications that Aeod comes with. Then everyone is happy

Like I already said, those were set up with special conditions in mind. If you don't play L4D mode properly, you will become overwhelmed by a tide of infected.

Plus, we'd have to make ANOTHER set of specialized DooM monsters that would have to take into account everything the player has in order to scale the difficulty against them in order to make it balanced.

That, my friend, is way too much work... It may "seem" simple, but trust me, it's not.

I got it all solved now. I opened the files with Slade and managed to replace the custom monsters in MonDoom.Aed.

I replaced each custom monster with the normal counterpart, for example, replaced the Plasma Zombieman with the code of FZombieMan so when the game would want to spawn an custom monster it would be a FZombieMan instead. So now it's all '' default monsters '' Well, except for FZombieMan which is a custom ZombieMan monster which I do like!

I also managed to add all the weapons I wanted to be able to spawn when playing Doom theme mode.

A little question to Major Cooke. I noticed when digging in AEoDdat.pk3 with slade in the file SpwnWeap.AED, not all weapons are listed to be able to be randomly spawned. I found weapons like GluonGun from half life and Heavy Rocket launcher that dosn't seem to be used. Really liked the GluonGun though when I summoned it, it was awesome! But maybe a little bit overpowered
